Hannah Jumper : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hannah Jumper
Hannah Jumper was a primary organizer of a Rockport, Massachusetts temperance group. After months of planning in 1856, Jumper's "Hatchet Gang" raided Rockport establishments that sold legal and illegal spirits. As a result of the raids, Rockport became a dry town until a voter referendum in 2005. ==Temperance Movement== By the early 19th century, excessive drinking was considered to be a sufficient social problem that led to the founding of temperance societies in the United States and in Europe. The first founded in the U.S. was in 1808 in Saratoga, NY. By 1833, there were more than 6000 local societies in the country. At first the temperance groups' campaigns were directed only at distilled spirits, but after 1836 they were aimed at all alcoholic beverages.
